tiny violet hand puff

its a tiny violet hand puff.. my latest design ♥over 200 crocheted and felted violets are crammed and smushed together because i forced them to be in love with each other.the inside of this little puff is lined with white purr-soft angora ♥i wore it around my neck on a green velvet ribbon when i went to stonehenge overnight..... it kept my porpies so warm!porpies are hands. danielle and i used to pretend our hands were dolphins and make them swim in the air... somehow porpoise porpoise turned to porpie porpie and it stuck. i still call them that always.i think this little puff will come in handy in the fall... but i cant help that i finished it in the summer. i will like to wear it with a black coat.when i said i fell down in a patch of violets i wasnt kidding. i was totally surrounded... i crocheted little violets like i was shelling peas... i tossed them in a little basket for months before i had enough.want to make your own? ive written up the pattern the pattern uses knitting & crochet and sport weight & chunky wool.it is shaped so your hands kind of *pop* in just like a real victorian muff.hehehe i said muff.

~ever so sweet...intricate and detailed in the most feminine way! and here i was excited to have learned to finally make a granny square...must crochet more...l♥♥♥ve...warm wishes and brightest blessings~

thanks knittens! the crochet is actually super simple..it is 2 little rounds... each one takes a few minutes to finish.. then you make the little yellow middle and pop it in!you can do it!!!!!!!!! geeee i wish i could do some sort of online class to help... hmmmmmm....

anyway:techs for the uber-knitten:i used blue sky alpaca melangesport weight for the violets.any sport weight felting wool will do. imagine the different colors you could use!the base of the puffis knitted in rowan big wool and lined with angora... leaves are also in big wool!

oh wow,this just looks sooo great, I wish it were autumn and I could carry this around with me to keep me warm and comforted....and well that I was talented and patient enough to make something that beautiful :)oh, and I love your headband :)

Oh, I love it! I've always been rather enchanted with muffs (have you seen any from the 18th century? So darling, with silky covers and lots of floral embroidery) Yours is just wonderful. And it is a crochet pattern, right? That's great since I don't know how to knit, but just learned to crochet and need something to improve my skills!

Little spot of shimmer and sweet you left on my blog, thanks!!! Lovely lovely place here and your talents abound! Can't wait to catch-up with some coffee this morning. Blessings dear one and light to all you do.

Just had to let you know this bit o' cute! Turned on your london show on your sidebar and your voice was singing sweet and I hear my three year old call from his crib, "Mama, I want to sit with the faery music, too! Come to me Mama!" Now, that is the dearest compliment from a sweeet, little soul. Just thought you would smile dear one on this! hee hee. Blessings and light, Amy Sperry Faldet

I cannot even do Granny Squares or I would be so tempted. You should be doing a DVD or online courses. My daughter spotted your Blog and you and asked me if you were a child. She must have glimpsed something of your soul. xx

aw thanks everybody!!!amy that is so sweet what your baby son said!i was feeling QUITE low (like whats the point of life low) when i read that and it really totally lifted me up.THANKS. i seriously needed that at that moment..

and josephine i think you may have hit on something..maaaayyyybbbeee i should do a knitting vlog show... ??? hmmmmm.... foooood for thought...

also about your little one.. i find it soo soo funny.. kids always are very confused by me!they always ask what i am!

one time a little girl asked me,"are you A kid or A adult?" heheheha! i couldnt answer her.. because im not sure myself! :D

I am sooo glad he spread some light on the valley you were in. He has a way of doing that for people and I try to dedicate my days to scattering joy! My daughter (11) and I love your clothes! We would dress like this always, but, a bit hard to find fun clothes in our small town in Evansville, Wisconsin. We are getting creative though with what we find! Looked up more info on your music and trying to find where we can buy some and see you are from Wisconsin, too! Small, world! Going to put on some of your songs and throw the roast in, so don't mind me I won't take up much room here! hee hee. So glad to know this joyous new spot dear! Take care little light!

Hello Fairy Friend, :-)Now, this is a really lovely post! I don't know how you have the patience to make all the little violets... You will have to show us how you create flowers. You could do a knitting video. That would be a great idea! I would really like to know how to crochet flowers. :-)Thank you for your magical message.Have a good weekend.Fairy love and blessings.xx

Ahh... came to listen to some white mice and debussy and realized that I was off about birthday and home town... sorry dear. Our cat wants in she jumps up on the very old saucer sized bell in between our old doors and balances and rocks the knob like she knows that is how to open it! Off... I go... back in a sec.

owl in the dark

i talk to plants and furniture and i think bugs have feelings. my first babysitter almost broke the world record for seeing star wars in the theatre the most, but was just beaten out... she did however drag me with her
every time. so sometimes i recite the movie while i am sleeping. ill say "what about the rebellion." you'll find me making patterns for my knitwear label *tiny owl knits*, on tour with my band snowbird, or somewhere near the magic tree reading novels with my third eye. if you are reading this i wish you love. peace. bliss. spirit shields. cosmic freedom. joy. balance & rainbow magic in the morphic field of surprise & delight ♥
